What are bow saws used for?

A modern bow saw is a metal-framed crosscut saw in the shape of a bow with a coarse wide blade. This type of saw is also known as a Swede saw, Finn saw or bucksaw. It is a rough tool that can be used for cross-cutting branches or firewood, up to six inches (150 mm) in diameter.

Are bow saws good for cutting trees?

While some are designed to cut metal, others are more specialized, making them perfect for tasks such as cutting young wood and trees in your yard. If you have to choose one saw for your garden, it has to be this one. This saw is just like frame saws that have a thin blade that is held in tension by a frame.

Do bow saws cut in both directions?

They cut on both strokes; the push and pull. Maintain a smooth constant rhythm and angle of attack. Allow the blade to do the work by not applying too much pressure; this will help maintain a proper technique and conserve energy.
